Are there any addresses in Paris with all you can eat oysters?

Chez Clement which is a chain has all you can eat oysters BUT it is not a year round event.
Regular eaters can go to any brasserie and be satisfied with une douzaine (12).

French restaurants tend not to do all you can eat. Instead they concentrate on serving quality food to people who appreciate it. All you can eat means that the quality if ingredients is dodgy - no matter where in the world you are.
There may be some asian restaurants in Paris that do all you can eat, but I would be very wary.
Oysters are available in months with an R in them - and most of the other months as well. (The months with an r in them rule predates refrigeration, when the oysters would die before reaching the restaurants in the summer months. It also has to do with a heightened risk of algal bllom in the water - something modern scirence hasnt come up with an answer for).
Believe me when I say if you%26#39;re eating no.1 oysters you do not need more than 12.

The %26quot;R%26quot; rule is also because in most of the world, oysters spawn during the summer months, leaving them small and watery instead of plump and flavorful -- and not really worth eating.

Thank you for your help. In the future it would be much appreciated if you could just answer the question instead of waxing on about the months that oysters are available.
La Photographe, merci, mais je suis francaise!

Tetine, based on your original post, there is no way to know when you or going, or what (if indeed anything at all) you know or don%26#39;t know about oysters. There is, indeed, not even any way to know that you are French. (doesn%26#39;t take a genius to plug in a French user name)
Wiz (and by extension, me, too) , by giving you the additional information, was making sure that you are not disappointed by going into a restaurant in Paris and ordering oysters, only to have them unavailable entirely, or have them appear small and withered on your plate.
There wasn%26#39;t any attempt whatsoever to be anything more or less than helpful.
|||
Tetine - you are out of order. Sunshine817 was offering information with best intentions. Your response was rude and uncalled for.
|||
Tetine, how incredibly rude and uncivil.
|||
The problem with this forum is that there always has to be a know it all in the group. It isn%26#39;t a question of being rude or uncivil. It is just asking for simple information. That is what this forum is about, I might add. What the forum has turned into is a social circle.
|||
We all need to be reminded regularly (myself included) that all that appears on the flickering screen is words -- there are no inflections or expressions to accompany them, and it is far too easy to misinterpret that which has been written.
If you get more than you asked for, take what you want and ignore the rest. A simple %26quot;thanks%26quot; -- or no answer at all -- would have been considerably less unappreciative, rude, and inconsiderate than the answer you posted.
If you don%26#39;t want answers, then don%26#39;t ask questions. This simply isn%26#39;t designed to be a forum by which there are %26#39;yes%26#39; and %26#39;no%26#39; answers.
If you don%26#39;t like the friendly exchange of questions and answers, then perhaps a different form of information search might be better suited to your sensibilities.

Sunshine, stop trying to pick a fight.
